I don't see how a 3D engine will help Civ. Unless they change the gameplay significantly I can only imagine it will detract from the game. For a turn based strategy game like Civ you need to be able to assess the board as a whole easily, this is best done with flat 2D, unless of course the 3D aspects of the terrain become that much more important.
Who are you? George Lucas? I could give a crap about whether a review is good or bad until I see the movie. You see if the movie turns out to be good then I am delighted the review steered me to a film I enjoyed, if not then I am angry at the review for steering me to crap.
I am never delighted by a review for a movie I haven't seen. Particularly when its 3.5 stars yet says that the dialogue is as bad as the dialogue in Clones. Clones was so terrible if I had been in a theater (saw it free on TV) I would have probably left and asked for a refund.
people see marketing-speak like "content delivery" and see right through it. I've seen dozens of ideas and products promising total home content delivery services, it basically is another way to charge for something you don't want or already have/can get.
This generation will be won the way all the others were won, games. people buy consoles because they want consoles. I personally only have a gamecube from the current gen ) first to go to 99$:) so I am not the best predictor, but with that caveat I will say at least in the US if MS can deliver on the games it will be an interresting fight for sony to keep the mindshare. Nintendo is pretty much pigeonholed as a "kiddy" system unless they come out of the box with something really stunning .
With the HUGE amount of paid advertising these retarded movies get why do we have to be subjected to free advertising for them as well?
Or, is slashdot getting a cut from Lucas? - I have to assume a site like howstuffworks (although I am only amrginally familiar) wouldn't allow a fictional description without some advertisement compensation.
They are always perfect copies. Maybe the "Cert. of Authenticity" is counterfeit, but really you can't even wipe your ass with that, its too rough. SO why should I care?
Don't they realize that Google became the top search engine because the results were good? If they mess with results then people won't use MSN Search, and then the bias won't have the desired effect on web hosts. Its really a win-win for the anti-MS crowd that they do this.
Why doesn't Lucas just give up on producing all this crap and instead focus on lobbying congress to levy a tax to go directly to him. That way he can get his money and we don't have to see his crap or him in the media anymore.
Is this a troll, or should I care what your opinion is? Every time there is an RMS article there is a stream of +5 Insightful posts basically saying "I am in the Open Source crowd, not the Free Software crowd."

Explain the redundancy. I do not understand how you can infer a good effort to conform to formatting rules based on some, but not all, sentances being properly capitalized and punctuated. I also dispute the three sentence fragments.
ITs always the proprietary, closed formats that get names with words like "universal" in them. Universal to what? The disc that is universally used in psps? how retared is that?
Just recently I was over a friends house, and another guest had her 4 year old son with her (my son is 3). He had brought GTA:SA with him to play, It was his favourite game, and kept going on about it (for one reason or another the PS2 wasnt working or couldnt be setup). I was absolutely floored by this. My wife being a daycare worker was not very surprised.
BUT- I still think that it is that degenerate parents right to allow her child to consume material which I deem inapropriate. So I just fired off a letter to Senator Clinton saying in no uncertain terms that I will cease to be a strong supporter and caste my vote elsewhere next time if this keeps up, and dont worry I grammer/spell checked that email:)
I am sick of seeing the last few polititions that I agreed with for the most part sell out to the superstitous rightwingers that are destroying this country.
Personally I think accepting titles from anyone is contrary to the principles in the constitution, and if they offered one to me (not that they would!) I'd refuse.
Too bad abiword and gnumeric are MUCH nicer than the OpenOffice.org counterparts. I use gnome exclusively, and will continue to use gnumeric and abiword as long as they remain quicker, nicer, and easier to use than OpenOffice.org.
You have it backwards. Capitalisms greatest weakness is that it needs constant regulation and intervention because it is so susceptible to everyone acting like an asshole. Now you can argue that communism is susceptible to other problems (and possibly show how it succumbed to them when applied) but don't pretend that capitalism responds perfectly to corruption. it doens't.

Well I think Casablanca is the most overhyped movie in history, but if somebody did that with Blade Runner, I'd have to hunt them down, kill them, then move to Los Angeles to hide from the authorities.:)

It had a hard disk and could play music. I usually am not a fan of the product that fills multiple roles, but that would be very nice :)

As far as I'm concerned they can keep it.
